Talking about impossible and beyond meat, of course. I like their taste, so I’m not one of those burger fash who complains about not being able to taste the flesh wounds of their victims. Just need the skinny on how it compares in terms of it’s nutrient quality, health factors in terms of contaminants in production or as a result of (PFAS, lead), and the impact on the environment. I’m sure the production of fake borg is better than maintaining and slaughtering cows, but relative to other foods how much better is it?

Seems, from that page, that they're committed to the idea of Impossible and similar products not being intended for vegans, but for carnists who want to reduce their animal consumption

That's the take vegans generally seem to have on them. It doesn't help that their site is full of phrases like ”Everyone loves meat because it’s so delicious”, strong pick me energy. Personally, I'm not a fan of the ”vegan food needs to taste like meat to appeal to carnists” approach in general.
